Default need help with "ABS INOP" light

so a while back i broke a bolt off the back side of the ring gear and broke the stock 3:42 carrier..... i have since gotten a used carrior(with less miles) and replaced it and had a suspension shop check out the ring gear to make sure it was good..... got it all put back together and the carrier works perfect but during deconstruction i pulled out the "ABS" sensors on the backing plate behind the rotors and now with it all together and working i now have a "ABS INOP" light on and my "TCS" wont turn off at all...... any ideas on what happened to them to make them go bad all of a sudden???? and where to get new ones

Did you un hook the battery when this was done? You might just need to pull the - cable from the battery for 5 min and put it back on to reset the computer.

I would clean the sensors and the rings and make sure all connections are fine, with the battery cable off.
